Penn Center is a residential care facility dedicated to supporting adults with a primary mental health diagnosis, medical conditions, intellectual disabilities, or those who are elderly and require 24-hour treatment and supervision. The center offers a welcoming, therapeutic environment where individuals can access both short-term and long-term residential treatment services, all aimed at promoting recovery, personal growth, and reintegration into the community. On-site staff provide a range of supportive services, including crisis counseling, medication management, and housing for those needing a short-term stay, typically lasting three to five days. The focus is on providing therapeutic support in a setting that feels both safe and supportive, fostering the development of personal strengths and abilities.
In addition to crisis stabilization, Penn Center provides tailored habilitation services designed to empower individuals to achieve their highest levels of independence. Daily home-based habilitation offers housing and a nurturing environment that helps residents fully integrate into the broader community. These services can be delivered up to 24 hours a day, depending on each person’s unique needs. The program not only provides assistance but also facilitates life skills development through activities and opportunities that promote appropriate behavior, increased independence, and personal choice. Day habilitation activities take place in specialized environments designed to facilitate learning and growth, helping residents to attain or maintain their fullest potential.
Penn Center also supports individuals who prefer to live more independently by offering hourly home-based habilitation in their own homes or apartments. This service model emphasizes permanent, supported housing with an approach centered on empowering each individual to actively manage their own recovery process. Residents are encouraged to develop the skills necessary to manage their illness, live independently, and create natural support systems within their communities. Both daily and hourly habilitation models focus on life skill development opportunities that pave the way toward greater autonomy and satisfaction in everyday living.
Furthermore, Penn Center operates as part of a network of residential treatment care facilities, each focused on treatment and recovery for adults in need of comprehensive behavioral health care. With a compassionate approach and a range of programs, Penn Center helps individuals build the skills and confidence they need to return successfully to the community of their choice. The overall aim of the center is to provide not just care, but a pathway to personal empowerment, stability, and long-term wellbeing for each resident it serves.
